Sad and evil days have evidently fal
len upon the miners of Ferndale and
Tylorstown and their families. For the
past three or four months the depres
sion in the coal trade, upon which the
district absolutely depends, has been of
an svremirtniillv severe character, ami
It has brought in Its train a great dei
of want mul suffering. The distress
widespread and acutely felt by scores
of families, many of whom have, it is
sad to relate, been without a morsel
of bread on many occasions.
PUBLICANS AND THE CHURCH
The Welsh Calvlnlstlc Methodists of
South Wales and Monmouthshire new
their nuarterlv meetings at Devynock,
a picturesque rural district. nestling
mid the heights of Breeonshire, week
before last. A considerable discussion
arose with reference to a proiiosal to
legislate on the question of the rela
tionship with the chutches and persons
connected with the liquor trade. At
the Pontardulals association a series of
resolutions were formulated on the
auestlon. and referred to the monthly
meetings for consideration according
to these recommendations: no one
trading In Intoxicating liquors would tn
future be received Into cnurcn mem-
bershin: and although any person en
gaged In the trade, who may now be
members of the churches, were not to
be expelled, they were strongly urged
"to get out of the trade" at once;
while it was proposed that under no
circumstances should such persons be
uttered to hold any office In the
churches. Quite a lively discussion en
sued, and eventually the following res
olution was adopted: ' While the asso
ciation keenly regrets that the month
ly meetings are not prepared for legis
lation on the question, we urge the
churches to persevere in the good work
of spreading temperance principles and
eriucatimr nubile opinion on the ques
tion, and to co-operate heartily In the
movement now Initiated to estaDiisn a
temperance society In connection with
the association." Music and Its tempt
ations received the attention of the
association as a result or a communi
cation from Mrs. Watts Hughes. It
was resolved, "That an appeal be sent
from this association to the several
monthly meetings, and through tnem
to the churches in general, asking that
the attention of the young people who
take a delight in music be called In the
most solemn manner to their impropri
ety of taking Part in concerts and en
tertainments that are held In unwor
thy Dlaces. such as music halls, and es
pecially of their singing low and vul
gar songs, but rather that they should
devote their musical talents to higher
and purer objects.
THE CARDIFF EISTEDDFOD.
Maelgwyn, of the Cardllt Times, In
speaking of the recent musical per
formances at the Cardiff exhibition
eisteddfod, says "that the great choral
competitions was at no lime the chief
attraction of the eisteddfod, for, evi
dently staggered by the award at
Llandudno, several of the leading
choirs had signified their intention of
holding aloof from the contest, and the
eisteddfod committee were assailed in
a section of the press with a persist
ency and a vehemence that were alike
unfair and undeserved. Everybody
expected Llanelly to win, although one
could not but admire the pluck of
" ilittle Pontypool in entering the lists
against one of the acknowledged lead
ing choirs. The victory of the tlnplate
town representatives was very popu
lar, although the remarks of Mr. Cow
en that the losing choir had done as
well or nearly so as the best choir that
competed at Llandudno, is likely to
produce no end of controversy amongst
the friends and enemies of certain
choirs. In one breath the adjudicators
tell us that the Llandudno contest was
the finest heard since the great com
petition In London in the Jubilee year,
while in the next we are led to believe
that it was very small potatoes Indeed.
Truly we live In a wonderful and
changing age."
WALES AND LIBERAL LEADER
SHIP. It may be a narrow way of looking
at things, but a Welsh nationalist can
not help regarding the political sit
uation in its relation to Wales. Tn a
general way Welsh Radicals rejoice In
all that tends to unite and to strength
en the Liberal party, but they do not
forget that In the Parliamentary bat
tle Wales has to fight for her own
hand. They naturally, therefore, take
a keen Interest In the present situa
tion, and discuss with avidity the ru
mors with regard to the vacant leader
ship. Lord Rosebory, during his com
paratively brief career as Prime Min
ister, whilst in a sense popular, was
far from filling the place In the Welsh
mind that was occupied by Mr. Glad
stone. He spoke well and did well
for Wales, but the Welsh Nonconofrm
Ist conscience never took kindly to
him. The said conscience, however,
often strains at a gnat and swallows
the bigger animal, and there are very
many Welshmen who would view with
sincere sorrow anything like the pro
longed retirement of Lord Rosebery
from active political life. Sir Wm.
Harcourt's fighting qualities, if nut his
ardent championship of temperance
legislation, has brought him, at least
of recent years, the admiration and
perhaps the affection of Welsh Rlda
cals. They are democratic enough to
prefer finding the leader amongst the
Commons rather than in the Upper
House, when he happens also to be
one of their own representatives the
attraction is well nigh irresistible. Re
ferring to more personal aspects of the
question, one does not forget that al
though Mr. Thomas Ellis was credit
ed with being one of those who were
most Influential In bringing about the
leadership of Lord Rosebery, his work
mm T ll.n.n I U'VIn aliialHi. U . ! . 1
H tiiucim , ills' timing me lime ioru
Rosebery was in power was by no one
more warmly praised than by Sir Wil
liam Harcourt. Neither can one lose
sight of the generous tribute paid by
8lr William Harcourt to the efforts of
the Welsh members during the last ses
sion, and the way (when he did not
follow their lead) he backed them up
In their various fights.
A WELSH CLERGYMAN ON WED
DINGS. The Rev. E. Howells, vicar of Mil
ford Haven, makes the following re
marks In the "Parish Messenger" for
October anent the conduct of people
attending weddings: "While on the
subject of marriage may we ask those
who generally attend these functions
(we are thinking now of the mothers
with Infants in their arms and the
large number of silly people who rush
to a wedding as If it were a circus) to
try and remember In whose house they
are when they next come to witness a
wedding. In years gone by friends and
neighbors would flock to the church to
Join In the church's prayer for the two
young hearts embarking on the voy
age of life. It is very different now!
Seldom Is it we see a knee bent In
prayer: still more seldom do we hear
an "Amen," after the prayers the
"Amen" which makes the prayer of
one the petition of many. A crowd of
gossiping, sight-loving people come to
gether not to pray, but to see. The
waiting time Is generally passed in
audible conversations, and not Infre
quently In throwing rice across the
church. More than once has the of
ficiating clergyman had to ascend the 1
pulpit and beg the congregation to re
member the reverence due to God's
house, and on one occasion the vicar
found It necessary to take off his sur
plice and turn about fifty people out
of the church before the ceremony
could be proceeded with. Is this be
coming? Is this what you would ex
pect in a civilised and Christian town,
boasting of so many places of worship?
Mothers often tell us that they can
not come to church because of the
baby. Then why bring the baby to a
wedding? Is the marriage ceremony
more Intelligible to baby minds than
the special children's service provided
for them? The service of holy mat
rimony Is much too sacred for levity
and irreverence. Let us try and rise
to a higher level. Let our Intercourse
with heaven be at least aa reverent as
our intercourse with each other."
Words well spoken, and are applica
ble to communities in this neighbor
hood. POOR MORIEN BLIND.
The valued contributor of the Week
ly Mail almost blind. Morten is one of
the best known English and Welsh
writers in Wales, and his honored name
Is known wherever the Welsh langu
age Is spoken. As a newspaper corres
pondent he has but few equals. He is
as well known in London among pub
lic men as he is to his humble fellow
countrymen In dear old Cambria. He
visited this country a few years ago,
and was shown marked respect wher
ever he appeared. The following Is the
way the Weekly Mall speaks of the sad
affair: "We have already hinted In
"Wales Day by Day" that the condi
tion of the eyes of our veteran and
well-beloved contributor. "Morten," Is
far from satisfactory, and that the
dtmning temporary, we all trust of
his elht is a sore trial to him will be
seen from the following extracts from a
letter Just received by the chief. "The
sight of my left eye, says "Morten," "Is
so far gone that I cannot see with It
even with the aid of a very powerful
small handglass. Through this I sec
these lines only as disjointed patches
of blnck through a white mist. The
other eye is becoming gradually the
same, and It is with the utmost difficul
ty I can with the aid of the handglass
see the print of the 'Western Mall' to
read anything. I struggle on. but often
have to give up altogether for a time,
to renew the struggle after an Interval
of rest. What I write Is done with the
handglass in the left hand and the
pen in the right. Working thus. In the
shude of nlht. Is a trying ordeal, but
when I fall which Ood forbid the
chief pleasure of my life will be gone!
For twcntv-slx vears I have scribbled
in the EngllRh and Welsh languages,
with, I Nor, reckless energy, never giv
ing heed to the rest-requirements of
my earthly tabernacle. The cataract
was started the Bummer before last,
and was caused by writing In a bay
window, facing the south, and my then
blooming nrchnrd. I was warned by
a reverend gentleman that writing In
the sunshine. In the midst of white
paper sheets, was calculated to cause
mischief to the eyesight, but I could
then distinguish a squirrel on a tree
a hundred yards off, and I gave no heed
to the warning. I have consulted the
most eminent oculists of the day, and
they all say thnt the mischief is of a
temporary character. Hut I cannot
refrain from remembering that an op
eration sometimes results In Inflamma
tion of the brain, and occasionally in
total blindness."
THE PERFECT LOVE.
T.lps of rosy colored hue,
Kves that sparkle like the dew,
When the golden morning light
Melts the vapour of the night;
Kindly eyes that always smile
Free from every taint of guile.
Voice that thrills with wondrous power,
Charming every toilsome hour;
Voice thut permeates the heart
Willi a Joy iiweot song Impart
When the singers live and dwell
In the songs they sing so well.
Touch that moves the sorrowed heart
Kills new hopes and alms upstart;
Touch one feels but to aspire
In Life's battle ne'er to tire;
Gentle, kindly, soft and light
Blessed with feelings infinite
Thought that lives but to bestow
J y on all whom she may know;
Thought that never pains, and yet
lias cause an action to regret
All for others she does live
Selfish ne'er; quick to forgive.
I Ife that bring to earth a sign
(if the Life that is illvlne;
Ne'er a shadow on her past
Safe from scorn or hatred's blast;
Radiant, pure, meek as a dove,
As mirrored thus a perfect love.

CATHOLICISM IN WALES.
It appears from Roman Catholic of
ficial statistics that there are 12,000
Roman Catholics In the thirteenth
Welsh county Monmouthshire. Twenty-five
thousand In Glamorganshire,
and about 6,000 in the remaining eleven
counties. In the year 1840, at the time
when Bishop Brown was consecrated,
the Roman Catholics had not a single
chapel In Glamorganshire. At present
they have twenty chapels. It is stated
that there are eight students at one
of their institutions In Brittany who
have learnt to speak Welsh and will
shortly come over to labor as mission
aries among their Welsh cousins In
Wales.
THE LATE WILLIAM MORRIS.
William Morris, the English poet
(observes the St. Jame's Uasette) has
been claimed for a Welsh Celt. If a
Welsh origin and character could be
as easily proved ns it is easily claimed
for the genius of Mr. Meredith. Wil
liam Morris and Sir Edward Burne-
Jones, Wales might well plume her-
seir on playing a pretty part In the
art and literature of the seond gener
ation of the Victorian epoch. Mr.
Meredith Is reported to be specially
proud of his Welsh lineage, and he
certainly has said some extremely
pretty things about Welsh men and
Welsh women In his novels, notably
In "Vittorla" and "The Amazing .Mar
riage." As for William Morris (adds
the Gazette), in spite of -his desire
for an Earthly Paradise (a quest which
Rennn specially notes as a Celtic char
acteristic), we take him to have been
Eiglish of the English. It is the oth
er Morris that Is Welsh (Sir Lewis
Morris.)
THREE WIVES IN ONE ROOM.
Sir John Pryse, descended from one
of the royal tribes of Wales, flourished
in all his eccentricity at the ancient
family seat at Newtown. Montgomery,
about 1750. He kept the embalmed
bodies of his first and second wives
in coffins on each side of his bed till
he married his third, a widow, who
objected to sleep in such a chamber of
horrors, and made him bury them out
of her sight. On her death he did not
venture on a fourth marriage, but de
sired her to be brought back, like a
second Alcestis, from the grave. So
he wrote this letter to Bridget Bos
tock, of Cheshire, "who healed all dis
eases by faith, prayer and an embro
cation of fasting spittle":
Madam Having received Informa
tion by repeated advices, both public
and private, that you have of late per
formed many wonderful cures, and that
tne means used anoear to be verv in.
adequate to the effect produced, I can
not but look on you as an extraordin
ary and highly-favored person. Now,
having lately lost my wife, I earn
estly entreat you that you will put
up a petition to the Throne of Grace
on her behalf, that the deceased may
be restored to us, and the late Dame
Elizabeth Pryse he raised from the
dead. It your personal attendance be
necessary, I will send my coach and
six, with proper servants, to wait on
you hither, whenever you please to ap
point, recompense or any Kind that
you could propose would be made with
the utmost attitude. Tour obedient
and very affectionate, humble servant,
jonn rryse.
What answer was returned Is not re
corded. Only this we kitow, that the
cry for this lost Eurydlce was, as of
old. in vain, and the gallant and cour
teous Welshman, in a few years fol
lowed his wife to that world beyond
the veil where they neither marrv nor
are given In marriage
SMITH FAMILY IN
OTHER COUNTRIES
Variations ol Its Honored aad JVeO.Di.
tribaled Coiaoaea.
THEY ARE MANY AND INTERESTING
Some of the Three Variations Wosld
Hardly Be Recognised by English
and Yankee ConsiaThe Cos
siderably .Naoierons Subdivisions of
John Smith.
From the Inter-Ocean.
An examination of the directories of
all large cities in America and in Eu
rope tells us that the Smiths are
numerous. We find this family, which
Is on a steady march of increase, oc
cupying more space in the city direc
tories than any other family. In the
New Vork city direcfory there are fifty
three columns devoted to this family.
Added to this number are thirty col
umns of Smiths in Brooklyn, with
thirty-tive columns of Smiths in Balti
more and us many more In Washing
ton, and In all other large American
cities the Smiths lead in point of nu
meruusness. Hence the question,
"Whence came Smith?"
The commonness of the name Smith
Is accounted for by the fact that an
ciently the term "a Smith" was not
confined to iron-workers, but was ap
plied to any person engaged in smith
ing. In enteting tn the subject of this
patronymic, any writer must feel over
powered by the magnitude of it. aa it is
closely connected with the personal
Identity of many thousands, enjoying
as it does the eminence of being the
commonest of all English, French, and
German surnames, and associated as it
hus been with anecdotes, statistics, and
archaeology. The Smith family sup
piles a subject which requires no com
mon handling; a new ology, named
smlthology, will undoubted;)- prove as
Instructive and interesting as many
existing ologies.
IN OTHER LANDS.
In France Mi. Smith figures as Le
Pevre; in Germany, Schmidt or
Schmltt: in Holland, as Smlt; In Italy,
Fabbronl and Fabroniess; In Scotland,
the Gowans; in Wales. Goff and Cowan,
In Cornwall Smith net-am: Angowe,
The Celts, whether Highland or Hiber
nians, took 111 to trade names, prefer
ring personal, local, or patronymical
designations. Still we have Mclntyre,
son of Smith; In Wallaehla, ovacs Is
Smith. Add to the above Ferrari, Per-
racino, Forrars, Kerretll, Ferrum, Farl,
all Ironworkers. A family bearing tha
name Falrle has been located In Ruth-
erglen. near Glasgow, Scotland, for
over two years, as hinted in this rhyme
Nuc man can tell, nae man has seen,
When the Fairies haena in Ituglen been.
All are members of the mighty race
of Smiths and have dealt largely In
iron and smith work In general. The
word smith ia from tho Antrto-Saxon
"sinttan, to smite." hence the motto
of a noble Smith family in England Is
"Smite on, quoth smith," thai is, for
any one who strikes as with a ham
mer or a blacksmith. Thus the poet
becomes a versesmlth. though he had
only to cudgel his brains. Besides
Smith, pure and simple, there are
SinUheons, to which the Gaelic Mac
Uowun (son of Smith) corresponds, us
well as Smithman, which in French Is
Lefevrehomme, and Qrossmlth, who, if
they have not corrupted their spelling,
are a good set-off against tne Fabruccl,
or little Smiths, of Italian celebrity.
The first Smith landed in America in
1631, and that they have become num
erous in this country and in England
will be seen In the register general of
England, when, from 18X8 to 1854, 2S6.
037 were recorded as having been born,
or having died.
The Joneses, who have been fast
treading on Mr. Smith's heels, number
In like circumstances 282,900. This will
show that the alarmist has good reas
ons to rnlse the cry of "Smiths In
danger." In addition to Smith proper
there are many families passing under
other surnames who are members of
this mighty army.
Smithlett is a neat diminutive, while
Smythy and Smythlners have decidedly
the smell of blacksmith shop about
them. In their desire to get away from
the common plebeian and now descrip
tive Smith many families have Smyth
ed themselves, and one family goes
still further and changes Its name into
Smljth. It is difficult to understand
how "ij" came to supplant the "y." It
It is said that an English Baronet
Smith In the transition period, having
substituted "y" for "t," was so delight
ed with his escape from Kmlthdom
that he added a title to each stroke
of the "y" and thus produced the "IJ"
of existing Smljth.
Another escape was found recently
In New York state. The head of a
house, one Farmer Smith, being a stout
and portly mun, obtained the name of
John Jolly among his neighbors; his
sons have since assumed this sobriquet
as a surname, and by this name alone
is the family recognized, they arc
Smiths no longer. The common of the
descriptive Smiths in America are the
Schmidtschmidts, Goldsmith, Gold
schmldt (or Orfevre, in French), Sil
versmith. Coppersmith, Locksmith,
Whitesmith, Blacksmith. Arrowsmith,
Speersmlth, Knyfesmith, Nasmyth or
(Nallsmlth). Hydlesmith (or Soldier
smith), Messerschmidt (German for
Knlfesmlth); Brownsmlth Is a brown
bill maker, corresponding to the family
name of 'Brownblll," which Is a Saxon
foot soldier, meaning Brisbane,
From Smith, pure and simple, come
these names: Smyth. Smythe, Smeyth,
Smelth. Smlt, Smite. Smyte, and Sinids.
There are thirty towns in these United
States named for Smith, while In the
city directories Smith with every
Christian name under the sun exists.
We all know Smith, and have a great
regard for him; an excellent fellow Is
Smith, but in speaking. of this cosmo
politan citizen we cannot tell which
Smith Is wanted.
i;rban SMITHS.
There are forty columns of Smiths In
the Chicago city directory, of tins
vast army Chicago leads, with 377 John
Smiths; Philadelphia follows with 315;
New York city has 310; Baltimore, 2f..t;
Brooklyn, 229; Detroit. 83; Denver, 69;
Pittsburg. U6; San Francisco, 83; New
Orleans, 62; Milwaukee. 46; Boston, 127;
Minneapolis, 55; St. Paul. 46; St. Louis,
125; Kansas City, Mo.. 52; Buffalo, 89;
Cleveland. 96; Washington, 75. All
told, these number 2.497 plain, common,
overy-day John Smiths, who, with their
families, would populate a good-sized
town.
It is Impossible to Identify the man
wanted by aid of the city directories,
as we And them by the hundreds each
with the same Christian name, and pur
suing the same avocation.
I am acquainted with a family of
John Smiths living In a Chicago flat
with a John Smiths over and a John
Smith directly below. The first floor
Smiths were so tormented with mes
sages, parcels, and letters, that they
fled, aye, flitted in self-defence. The
baptismal name of John is of Norman
Importation, but has rarely passed in
to a surname, and Is the most popular
Christian name with the family of
Smith. John has been the source of
various modified forms of a consider
able number of names, some of which
are the most common in the whnle
circle of nomenclature. Its Welsh
genitive form, Jones, substantiates this
assertion as being the second most
common name In the English language.
We have besides Jones. John. Joanes,
Johnes, Johnock. Janson, Jennings,
Jansen. Jannlngs, Jenkins, Jenkyna,
Jenks. Janson, Jenklnson, Janes, Jenon;
and from Johanneson we have the rest
of Hanson and Hancock. lack and
Jackson seem to claim the uame par
entage, and Jackass. I presume, has the
same etymology. John has become so
common a Christian name that some
prefix by way of epithet seems occa
sionally necessary in order to distin
guish between two or more persons
bearing It. , . ,
Thus the French say Grosjean, or big
or fat John; the Dutch use Qrootjans,
or "bulky John;" the Ital.ans have
their Oiovannlzzi. or "handsome, large
John:" the Highlanders have their Mac
Fadyeans. meaning "the sen of long
John;" also Mac Ivons. or sons of big
John; the Highland Scotch their Mlkle
John. or "large, stout John." Hence
the Smiths are Justly proud of their
"cheap John."
John Smith in England, like John
Jones In Wales, is a perpetual incogni
to, and the name being proclaimed In
a market square would denote no per
son in particular. We have John Smith
for our father, our uncle, even our aunt
or mother, not forgetting Johanna
Schmltt or Jeanette Le Fevrc, but we
never learn of one dying; they live Just
to make some people miserable. Three,
tenths of all the runaway husbands are
Smiths, one-tenth bearing the Christian
name John. They are the most di
vorced family in existence, and unless
John Smiths are warned against nam
ing their posterity for themselves the
government may be obliged to annihi
late the entire race by renaming them.
In 1848, when the fugitive King LouU
Phillippe found himself safely in Eng
land in a snug hotel, he Inquired the
name of his hostess, and, Iwlng in
formed It was Smith, his majesty re
marked: "Smith, Smith; eh Men. I
think I have heard that name before."
He had, Indeed, for It was the very
alias that he had adopted William
Smith (Guillaunie Le Fevro) bein.x
written on his passport at that moment
In his pocket.
NEW YORK JOURNALISM.
Aa Up-to-Dntc View of the Serlo-Comic
Supplement Schertns ol the
Sunday Newspaper.
From t.:e New York Sun.
Our next door nelghlior, the Tribune,
which has taken Into Its house the re
mains of the defunct Recorder, dead
of vulgarity, announces its intention of
producing, or evolving, or disgorging,
"a Serlo-Comlc Supplement" as a reg
ular feature henceforth of its Sunday
edition.
Our candid opinion Is that there is
about us much demand for more serio
comic supplements to Sunday newspa
pers in New York as there is for more
fleas In Italy, We should say, more
over, that although it may be possible
for the Tribune establishment to con
coct during the week its projected
serio-comicality, accord ins to the reg
ular formula, either for plain or for
colored, there will be some difficulty
when it comes to emitting the same
upon a long-suffering public. How,
for example, does the Tribune propose
to get the serio-comic edition out of
Its own front door, where still sits on
guard the bronze statue of Horace
Ureeley, who could use forcible lan
guage on occasion?
It Is a light-headed and ill-balanced
management which is swept off its bane
by the frantic struggle now In progress
between the Journalistic anarchists
who have recently invaded our noble
profession. From a competition where
of the field ranges from mere inanity
to the limits of obscene enterprise, rep
utable publishers and self-respecting
editors would better keep themselves
wholly aloof. Let the scavengers with
an Inborn taste for that sort of re
search continue to discover all the
coprollties, and tn shout them for sale
In the open market place. Let the
same fellows likewise monopolize the
traffic In that sort of harmlessly vul
gar train of literature, which no man
with clean linen can read, even In a
smoking car, without a sense of per
sonal ignominy and degradation.
We do not for an Instant suppose that
the Tribune, with Its traditions of re
spectability, contemplates a descent
Into the underground filth through
which the New York World, and the
New York Journel, and their imita
tors are noisily wading their way. But
In getting itself, or any part of Itself,
down to the Recorder level, the Tribune
Incurs a moral Injury. Imbecility Is
sometimes almost as Immoral as posi
tive Indecency: and the methods of a
newspaper which perished because It
was so feeble, even In Its chosen field
of vulgarity, are not an inheritance
which our nelghlior ought to desire.
or a possession of which our neighjior
ought to be proud.
The intimate contest between the
proprietor of the New York World and
the proprietor of the New York Jour
nal for the primacy of the sewers pro
ceeds with unabated energy on either
side. One of them Is spending lavishly.
in tne attempt to beat on Its Inconve
nient young rival, the money amassed
during a long and happy period of ab
solute monopoly and shanielessness.
The other is pouring into the campaign
money earned by older and probably
wiser men In more honorable business.
In a desperate effort, foredoomed to
failure, to prove that a Harvard grad-
uute with the training of a gentleman
can out-Pulitzer the original Pulitzer
himself. Foredoomed to failure, be
cause the new comer Is, after all, only
an amateur. If he succeeds In buying
away from the older shop every artist
whose pen or whose pencil has been
educated to proficiency by the master
of all the arts which have made the
World what It is other artist9 will
spring up like mushrooms under the
brass dome. Pulitzer has only to raise
his somewhat hooked forefinger to
summon to his aid special talent of an
order not at any other new Journalist's
command. Besides, his nose Is longer
than young Mr. Hearst s and his scent
keener by far.
Meanwhile, what a contest It Is. and
what a struggle young Mr. Hearst is
making, though hopelessly, for the ful
fillment of his astounding ambition!
The hideous projectiles are hurled back
and forth every day In the week, but
particularly on Sundays. There Is yet
discernible no sisn that the ammuni
tion Is low in either arsenal. As two
wrestlers change their grip or shift
their ground from time to time, so the
desperate competition passes through
varying aspects of the unspeakable.
At one time It is pronographic. When
the multifarious appeal to pruriency
seems to pail upon the two constitu
encies, tho exploitation of th horrors
of morbid anatomy and disgusting
pathology begins. Pictures of diseased
tissue sprawl across whole pnges form
erly occupied by the Imaginings of
lasclvlousness. Crime Is illustrated In
all Its phases with charts and full
working directions for finding crimin
als. When the Harvard graduate ran
sacks the shelves of the library halls
for forgotten nastlness of erotic lit
erature, the ex-kellner sends forth his
men and his women to collect from the
cooks of the anonyma of today their
mistresses' favorite recipes for Christ
mas plum pudding. When the ex
kellner goes to the hospitals with hi

TO SEE FROM AFAR.
Tcleclrescopo by Mhich Distant
ThingJWill Be Brought Near.
From the Albany Express.
That sooner or later an apparatus
would be invented by means of which
objects might be seen at a great dis
tance. Just as sounds are heard from
afar by means of the telephone, has
been considered probable for a Ions
time.
It Is a strange coincident that an
nouncement is made simultaneously
from sections' of the globe far remote
from each other that the expected In
vention has been made. One of the
inventors is a Swedish physician.
Concerning the details of hla discovery
nothing has een made public. The
other man who has discovered the se
cret of "looking throu;h a wire" la Dr.
Frank M. Close, of Oakland, Cal. He
calls his apparatus a "telect roscope"
th tals, an apiiartus for seeing afar
by means of electricity.
There are two boxes connected by a
line of wire. One of these boxes Is call
ed the receiver and the other the trans
mitter. In front of the receiver a
piece of tourmaline of Iceland spar Is
placed, and opymyite to this is the eye
of the person testlmr the apparatus.
In front of the opening of the trans
mitter and directed upon some sort of
electrical device, the nature of which
Dr. Close docs not reveal, In placed a
lighted candle. Immediately the eye
perceives the flame of the candle, al
though in an adjoining renin or a long
distance nway, the tourmaline of the
receiver Is removed, though the lighted
candle renmina at the transmitter, no
light Is seen.
Th explanation of tnia phenomena
Dr. Close marks by reference to the
transmission of si.und by electricity
that Is, to the telephone. Exactly
whut happens when you talk Into the
transmitter of a telephone uud a per
son at tho other end of the line heart
your voice is thai tho sound wave
striking upon the thin dink of the
transmitter set up In the electrically
charged wire, or, to be a little more
scientific. Impress upon the electric cur
rent lowing through the wl.-e, a series
of vibrations which have the effect
when an appnratus similar to that of
the transmitter Is thrust into the cir
cuit some distance away, to pet up vi
brations in a second disk which exact
ly reproduce the sound of your voice.
Now, a very accurate description of
Just what happens when you Hee a giv
en object Is that the different parts of
the object variously absorb the differ
ent rays of light so as to give the obiect
its shading of light and color, and in
turn there Is set up in the millions
upon millions of nerve cells of your
brain a series of sensations, which,
when put together, give you an Idea
or mental Image of the things seen,
In case you see a given object in a
mirror the only difference In the oper
atlon Is that the waves of light have
struck upon and been reflected from
the nonabsorbent glass and thus reach
your eye.
Now, supposing that the Image of an
object striking a mirror or something
corresponding to a mirror should be
made to set up vibrations In an electric
wire, Just exactly as a sound wave
striking on the thin disk of the tele
phone transmitter sets up a series of
vibrations, it is not hard to under
stand If there were a suitable appar
atus at the other end of the wire to
reverse the process and reproduce upon
a second mirror or screen the vibra
tions excited to the opposite end, you
would be able to Bee through a wire
Just ns you now talk through It. In
other words. It would be possible to
transmit Images for almost any con
ceivable distance.
Naturally, the apparatus Is still In a
very crude state. Just as nearly all In
ventlons are at present. Bui Inasmuch
as the means of tlie electrical trans
mission of light waves has been dlscov
ered, the development and perfection
thereof will be merely a matter of
time,
' HOW CAVIARE IS MADE.
Secret of the Prcpnrution of the Rm
vinn Dclicney.
Journal of the Sosclety of Art.
Fishing Is one of the most Important
branches of Russian industry. There
Is, perhaps, no other country In the
world where fish plays such a leading
part In the economy of life. In propor
tlon to other countries, there are more
people In Russia who, not being able
to buy meat, have to depend upon fish
for food. On fast days, of which there
are so many, fish is an indispensable
article for the whole nation. Russia
has a large number of -important riv
ers, streams and lakes, besides a coast
of 4,918 miles, which are rich In fish,
with some rare and fine species. The
most valuable products of the nsh in
dustry in Russia, are Cod Liver oil,
and caviare. Russian caviare is ob
tallied mainly from sturgeon. In the
Volga district the white sturgeon leads
for the hlch quality of its roe, and
next conies the common sturgeon. The
I'nlted States consul general at St. Pet'
ersburg says that nlihough the prep
aratlon of caviare does not differ from
that In other countries, Its superiority
being due to the fine quality of the roe,
he has studied the process of Its man
Ipulation, which Is as follows: When
a stranger Is admitted Into the fish
ing section where caviare is prepared
he finds It supplied with a number of
troughs, wooden tubs ami vats, a
stand, looking like a bench with upper
frame open, on which is placed the
freshly suited caviare In order to sep
arate It trom the superfluous brine,
There Is also a very important imple
mentthe cavlarj? press with which
the pressed caviare is prepared. On
the walls hang the cavlure sieves, con
sisting of wooden frames and nets of
strong cords. The workmen separate
the caviare from the egg bags. In which
It is inclosed, by rubbing it with the
nnnd through, the sieve Into a vat,
The egg skin docs not go through.
but remains on the surface of the sieve.
When fish are in the first stage of de
composition tho egg skins get bo soft
that they can be separated from the
roe, and from these the low grades
or caviare are made. Next, In the salt
ing of the caviare, it Is salted only with
brine made of fine salt. The differ
ence in "fresh" cnvlare is caused by
the smaller or greater quantities of
salt contained In the brine, and this
is regulated to meet the lenirth of
time the caviare is to be kept. The
rresn urine is kept In lartre wooden
tubs, nnd the fine, clean salt used for
the preparation of the brine Is put Into
small barrels. The superfluous brine is
used again. Immediately after the
ec;g8 have been rubbed through the
sieves they are put through the brine,
nnd as soon as they arc deprived of
tne superfluous salt they arc placed In
tin Jars or cans and small wooden kegs:
and the so-called fresh cavlure, which
Is high priced, Is ready fur market.
The cheaper kind is cured In the brine
and then put into linen bags and
pressed. This Is called pressed cavi
are. The roe should not be taken from
tho fish before tho third or fourth
year, when it is ripe, and grown to lis
full size. Many fish are cut before
the roe Is ripe, nnd In such case the
roe must be used Immediately. This
is one reason why frrsh caviare can be
obtained at all times. During ten
months of 1S95 Russia exported 4,68,448
pounds of pressed caviare nnd 613904
pounds 6t fresh caviare.
